Hooray for another Ludum Dare! This time around I’m going to work exclusively off the Pico-8 fantasy console to develop code, graphics, and sounds. For those not familiar with Pico-8, check it out here. It’s a one-stop-shop for simple video games, and the “hardware” limitations keep things interesting.

I feel like I’m making good headway with a game mechanic. My ‘entire screen’ is literal – a folding screen, like the kind used for dressing in privacy.

The game takes place as an illustration on the screen, where you battle a multitude of your foes. Even though you’re an army of one, you have an ability that could give you an advantage – the ability to fold space.

Once the basic battle mechanics are finished, I plan to move on to replacing the programmer art, and adding outside forces that can affect your battlefield.
